Financial Literacy a Struggle for TwentySomethings

Tuesday, 24 April 2012 | by Pat's Picks

USA Today puts a topic I feel strongly about front and center in this morning’s paper: financial literacy. Or rather, the lack of financial literacy amongst young adults in this country. On average, twentysomethings hold about $45,000 in debt and have a higher rate of unemployment than the rest of the population—12.4 percent. High schools in just 13 states require students to take a course in personal finance.
